From some magazines, and some video games i noticed that the kouki 180sx doesn't have those rear side marker lights like the USDM s13's have. Can anyone confirm that this is true?I also heard that the JDM power folding mirrors, only one mirror folds, which is the USDM drivers side one. This doesn't make sense, i mean wouldn't the JDM drivers one fold if only one of them folded, does anyone know if only one folds, or if they both fold?

Looks like they don't come with it stock. Maybe the chouki/zenki models don't come with it either... could be a Japanese thing. Anyway, both mirrors should fold, as I've seen the motorized mirrors sold in pairs and not just the JDM passenger side. Makes sense if it's only that side though, if you're the driver, you can just reach out of the window and fold yours anyway.

Both mirrors are motorized, via the center console selector. The problem is, they are initially angled opposite a USDM car, so when you fit them to a LHD car, even at the most angled position available, you will have to lean over towards the passenger seat to see your right hand lane traffic.

I also have a window auto-roll UP function, but that's beside the point har HAR!
